"I really enjoy when Mike masters my work. I know the result will be organic and my transients will punch."

"No matter if its heavy rock, singer songwriter, or indie electro, I can count on Mike to send me back a slamming master that not only preserves all the elements of the mix we worked so hard on, but also enhances them."

"I have worked with many mastering engineers in my career...some good, some great. What I appreciate most about Mike is he truly cares about my projects. He will always go the extra mile to make sure he is upholding the integrity and dynamics of my mixes, while adding the necessary finishing touches and polish that only a gifted mastering engineer can achieve."
